SAP delivered strong overall growth in the fourth quarter. The company achieved strong software revenue performance in the APJ region. The EMEA region delivered impressive results in light of the continued uncertain market environment and the Americas region had a solid software revenue performance considering a tough year-over-year comparison. SAP delivered exceptional growth in its key innovation areas SAP HANA, Mobile and Cloud: SAP HANA had an outstanding quarter reaching nearly €200 million in software revenue in the fourth quarter and achieving almost €400 million for the full year. SAP's mobile business contributed more than €220 million to software revenue achieving its full year revenue target.

SAP's strong cloud momentum continued in the fourth quarter: Derived from the total revenue of SAP's two cloud segments (Cloud Applications and Ariba) the annual cloud revenue run rate is approaching €850 million. For the SAP cloud applications segment alone 12 month new and upsell subscription billings increased nineteen fold in the fourth quarter. Even when including SuccessFactors in SAP's 2011 numbers the growth is triple digit at 102%[3]. For SuccessFactors on a stand-alone basis, 12 month new and upsell subscription billings grew 95%.

"In 2012, SAP empowered best-run businesses to meet real-time consumer demands. We invested in our flagship innovation SAP HANA and strengthened the industry's best portfolio in the cloud. We delivered industry-specific solutions, accessible anywhere on the mobile device," said SAP Co-CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe. "Our momentum has never been stronger. We are very well positioned to achieve our 2015 goals."

"We achieved €5 billion in full year non-IFRS software and cloud subscription revenue, an increase of 21%. We saw very strong revenue contribution from our key innovations SAP HANA and Cloud. We are confident we will continue our double-digit growth momentum in 2013 and further improve our profitability," said SAP CFO Werner Brandt.

IFRS operating profit and IFRS operating margin for the fourth quarter 2012 were impacted by share-based compensation expense of €185 million (2011: €1 million) and acquisition-related charges of €151 million (2011: €116 million). Share-based compensation expenses significantly increased primarily due to the implementation of new share-based compensation plans as well as the strong performance of SAP's share price in 2012.

Total headcount for the group grew in the fourth quarter by 304 FTEs organically and by almost 3,100 FTEs in total (including acquisition of Ariba) compared to the previous quarter.

IFRS profit after tax was €1.10 billion (2011: €1.20 billion), a decrease of 8%. Non-IFRS profit after tax was €1,359 million (2011: €1,277 million), an increase of 6%. IFRS basic earnings per share was €0.93 (2011: €1.01), a decrease of 8%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was €1.14 (2011: €1.07), an increase of 7%. The IFRS and non-IFRS effective tax rates in the fourth quarter of 2012 were 27.7% (2011: 26.3%) and 28.5% (2011: 26.4%), respectively.

IFRS operating profit was €4.06 billion (2011: €4.88 billion), a decrease of 17%. Non-IFRS operating profit was €5.21 billion (2011: €4.71 billion), an increase of 11% (€5.02 billion at constant currencies, an increase of 7%). This was slightly below SAP's non-IFRS operating profit guidance (which was in a range of €5.05 - €5.25 billion at constant currencies) due to the company's continued investments in key innovations as well as the expansion of SAP's global go-to-market activities. IFRS operating margin was 25.1% (2011: 34.3%), a decrease of 9.2 percentage points. Non-IFRS operating margin was 32.0% (2011: 33.0%), or 31.9% at constant currencies, a decrease of 1.0 percentage points (a decrease of 1.1 percentage points at constant currencies).

IFRS operating profit and IFRS operating margin for the full year 2012 were impacted by share-based compensation expense of €519 million (2011: €68 million) and acquisition-related charges of €537 million (2011: €448 million). Share-based compensation expenses significantly increased primarily due to the implementation of new share-based compensation plans as well as the strong performance of SAP's share price in 2012. Additionally, for the full year 2011, the reduction of the provision for the TomorrowNow litigation resulted in a significant profit from the discontinued TomorrowNow activities. This had a 5.1 percentage point positive influence on SAP's full year 2011 IFRS operating margin. For this reason the 2012 and 2011 IFRS profit and margin numbers are not fully comparable.

Operating profit and operating margin for the full year 2012 were impacted by SAP's continued investments in its global go-to-market activities and its cloud business. Total headcount for the group grew year-over-year by almost 8,700 FTEs (thereof more than 4,800 FTEs from acquisitions).

IFRS profit after tax was €2.83 billion (2011: €3.44 billion), a decrease of 18%. Non-IFRS profit after tax was €3.61 billion (2011: €3.37 billion), an increase of 7%. IFRS basic earnings per share was €2.37 (2011: €2.89), a decrease of 18%. Non-IFRS basic earnings per share was €3.03 (2011: €2.83), an increase of 7%. The IFRS and non-IFRS effective tax rates in the full year 2012 were 26.1% (2011: 27.9%) and 27.4% (2011: 26.6%), respectively.

Operating cash flow was €3.65 billion (2011: €3.78 billion), a decrease of 3%. Free cash flow was €3.11 billion (2011: €3.33 billion), a decrease of 7%. Free cash flow was 19% of total revenue (2011: 23%). At December 31, 2012, SAP had a total group liquidity of €2.49 billion (December 31, 2011: €5.60 billion), which includes cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. Net liquidity at December 31, 2012 was -€2.50 billion compared to €1.64 billion at December 31, 2011. This decrease in net liquidity was primarily the result of the annual shareholder dividend payment and the acquisition of SuccessFactors and Ariba in 2012.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

SAP is providing the following outlook for the full year 2013:

The Company expects full year 2013 non-IFRS software & cloud subscriptions revenue to increase in a range of 14% – 20% at constant currencies (2012: €5.00 billion). The full year 2013 non-IFRS cloud subscription and support revenue contributing to this growth is expected to be around €750 million at constant currencies (2012: €342 million).

The Company expects full-year 2013 non-IFRS software and software-related service revenue to increase in a range of 11% – 13% at constant currencies (2012: €13.25 billion).

The Company expects full-year 2013 non-IFRS operating profit to be in a range of €5.85 billion – €5.95 billion at constant currencies (2012: €5.21 billion).

The financial information presented above reflects the results of the acquisitions of SuccessFactors starting on February 21, 2012 and Ariba starting on October 1, 2012. Except as described in Explanation of Non-IFRS Measures, no amounts have been reflected in SAP's results in respect of either company prior to the date of acquisition.

[1] Starting with the reporting for the fourth quarter and full year 2012, SAP has introduced, in the revenue section of its income statement, a new line item "Software & Cloud Subscriptions Revenue" which is the subtotal of the existing line items 'Software Revenue' and 'Cloud Subscriptions and Support Revenue'. The content of the line items included in the subtotal as well as of all other line items in the income statements remain unchanged.

[2] The annual revenue run rate is derived from the total revenue of SAP's two cloud segments (Cloud Applications and Ariba) in the fourth quarter of 2012 and includes Ariba (before any future growth). The annual run rate is calculated by taking the fourth quarter cloud division total revenue and multiplying it by 4.

[3] Q4 2012 year-over-year growth rate in 12 month new and upsell subscription billings which relates to SAP cloud applications business (excluding Ariba). The growth rate is a pro forma growth rate assuming that the acquisition of SuccessFactors was completed as of January 1, 2011.

* Adjustments in the revenue line items are for support revenue, cloud subscription revenue, and other similarly recurring revenues that entities acquired by SAP would have recognized had they remained stand-alone entities but that SAP is not permitted to recognize as revenue under IFRS as a result of business combination accounting rules. Adjustments in the operating expense line items are for acquisition-related charges, share-based compensation expenses, restructuring expenses and discontinued activities.

** Constant currency revenue and operating income figures are calculated by translating revenue and operating income of the current period using the average exchange rates from the previous year's respective period instead of the current period. Constant currency period-over-period changes are calculated by comparing the current year's non-IFRS constant currency numbers with the non-IFRS number of the previous year's respective period.
